If cannibalism became legal in the UK, should we eat the poor?

Rolsy

Would you like me to baste myself?

Aberdeen Tyke

No, because poor people particularly those from ghastly areas like Hull or Glasgow rarely bathe and have high fat diets. You would need to construct a device like a large George foreman grill to drain off all the ingrained dirt, fat and sweat from them.

Sir Terrance DeCat.

I would be dubious, as the high fat content could be harmful. Perhaps we could burn them in the aga, to supplement the heating.

The Tenth Duke of Chalfont

Splendid idea. The poor are always complaining that the reason they are poor in the first place is because they don't have a job- well now they can be employed in keeping the larder well stocked can't they?

Lord Faversham-Shaftsworthy

that would mean one would have to indulge in eating one of the villagers...I'm not sure old chap, they are very poor and of ill health ...one taxes them to the hilt but they still survive.
i managed to poke one of the blighters through the cage in the man trap the other day what a nasty niff they put off, if they taste as bad as they smell one will ruddy starve ?

Midzy

yes..that sounds right. rather than letting them suffer poverty and hardship.

Diamond

NO i would rather just eat vegetables

Capodastaro

if you like something with a bit of fire and goes of with a bang

my a suggest the muslim packed with c4?

HOTSTAR

Ray S

Eat the rich, more meat, start with the PM and his cronnies.

Fred T

And then the idiots.

Stevie

No we should eat the rich first cause they would be like the free range meat that we are always been told is better for us

Smoochy Poochy

You'd have to catch me first!

LadyMoonlight!!

Actually, old bean, considering the poor are usually the hungry ones, it would make more sense for them to eat the idle rich . . .

only

what kind of question is this?
are u sick?

The Bruce spawn of Korky

We certainly should old boy
and an immigrant pie and custard for desert
wash down with a nice Chianti

i would definately serve you up for dinner for asking such a distasteful question.

katatins

Nah, no meat on their bones. I suppose they might make a decent broth but nothing more appetising than that.

Ooh, Swift proposed the very same idea in A Modest Proposal.

Dear me....Eat the POOR? have you taken leave of your senses? Let the poor eat themselves.....I would much rather sink my teeth in someone of stature!
.........are you volunteering?

Mike S

Perhaps you should read A Modest Proposal: http://www.uoregon.edu/~rbear/modest.html

You're a few centuries too late with your suggestion.

bossdave

No.........but you can bite me

Lady Ida Hunter Downe

Your servants, yes, but your good self and your wife should not partake of the poor. It may be tempting, but it's like BSE and the prions - you could get infected.

Your chef could whistle up something in one of these:

xwhoisthisx

No. Considering that you ran over your butler i don't think you're one to talk!! haha.

danor

why not!! the rich has been feeding of the poor for years

Zombeh.

I think the nobles and rich people would be much more tender and suculant.

blaster

The poor will do as a nice starter,but the main course would have to be all the fookin immigrants crowding our shores.
And for dessert, Gordon bleedin Brown and his little band of leaches!!.

Pheasant Plucker

Yeah.
The parts could be turned into "turkey" drummers and nobody would know the difference.

tcoJCoLDS member

no the poor should eat the rich

Thomas

Mr Abba
